It's Fall.As in the season that follows Summer.How in the world did that happen?!

Granted, Los Angeles doesn't "do" seasons too well. Today is was burning hot with Santa Ana winds (where the hot air from the desert in Vegas and the like come into Los Angeles...it is payback for all the smoke we sent them last month during our fires). Anyway, I flip the calendar to October and I freak out. I see Christmas decorations up and hyperventilate. Wasn't it just Y2K?! Oh, time is flying by.

These look (and I'm sure they smell) deliish! It is beautiful in Utah--lots of red, gold and orange leaves. I live at the base of a mountain--it is beautiful( there is also snow on top)! Have a great day!

These do look good! And aren't you quite the food photographer too! The gingerbread reminds me that I just posted about the middle ages and included a 15th century recipe for gingerbread if anyone is interested.

I love the idea of chocolate and gingerbread! Whenever I eat gingerbread, I feel like something is missing - and now, I know exactly what that is - chocolate! I just realized that I didn't have you bookmarked on my site... durrhh.... I really need to start updating my list more often. :)

I love the combo of chocolate and gingerbread together! There's a great recipe for chocolate gingerbread cookies in the Martha Stewart Cookies book. You might want to check it out :) Your bars look awesome!

Oh, i think I have to try this. I surprisingly love Dorie's and then Sweet Melissa's version. And then I just made the Chocolate Spice bread from The Modern Baker. Really, I'm just going to have to make this.

I once made gingerbread and added too much ginger. My nasal cavity was on fire with every chew. Not cool. But I do plan to make it again for this holiday season. And chocolate isn't gonna be left out of this batch!
